Haykuro Builds

Ok, so I can't seem to pin down ANYWHERE where it lists the features of all the different Haykuro builds. What exactly are on them, any known bugs, the difference between the Google builds and the HTC builds in terms of features, functionality, differences, known bugs etc.? I'm currently running JF 1.4.3 which is great, but doesn't seem to have a lot of unique power versus the stock build. Thanks!

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ go here and you will get the builds as well as the changelog and updated informations.

The changelog is great, but no where can I find the CURRENT features of either build. What's already on them?

I found no reason to stick with the Haykuron builds.
allthough it has exchange, it still doesn't hold a candle to Touchdown.
I found the browser to be slower.
And over the phone lagged.
I'm waiting for the JF update when they do an official G1 release.

Alright, that seems to work, do I HAVE to wipe the G1 clean first? It's a hastle for me to have to reinstall everything to normal...

If you have apps to SD, then you can wipe, install the apps-to-sd version of 5.0.xr4 and then run the commands to re-symlink the /data/app and /data/app-private and your apps will be back. The only problem is that in the Market app, they don't show up as installed, so you need to reinstall them if you want update notifications from the Market app.
What I do is run aTrackDog every once in a while and reinstall anything with updates. Eventually, I'll probably end up having reinstalled everything =P

Android 2.1 stock in update.zip format

Hi All,
I have tried looking in the dev section (please dont flame me lol) but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone tell me if there is a standard GSM 2.1 that I can load onto my hero in update.zip format. I dont mind about having root, but I want to keep the recovery image so I can install custom roms again at a later stage.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction, or tell me im retarded and I cant do this???
Thanks

I did a one before which worked perfect then I took it down because I got people complaining so I redid it... which did not work so perfect so I left it to others.

Thanks andrewb84uk,
That all seems to be working great! Pretty good linpack score too even with standard clock speed.
One other question, do you know what the latest radio version is and where I can get it?
I am running 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 that i downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622 however that page hasn't been updated since March so I was wondering if there is a newer one that people are using?

It is recommend you update to the latest one from here:

Most people will be using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14.zip. As above the ROM is brilliant so if you choose to play with ROMS you can check that one out.

Droid 2/Global ROMS

Sorry if this has been asked but I have just ordered a Milestone 2 and i was wondering whether the Droid 2 ROMs would work on the Milestone 2. I know people say no but i remember reading in the D2G forums about a little patch you can implement to make D2 roms work on D2G - Isn't the hardware and drivers the same apart from the EVDO/CDMA part of the antennae?
Thanks, Jack

I tried to install a ROM designed to work on the D2G and I bricked my Milestone 2 so I advise you to not try it
I might have done something wrong but I won't test again as I had to restore my system with RSD Lite (and it's a pain in the a*s).

Well that sucks - wonder why it bricked it D:
I hope you did something wrong and it does work. I will just try when i get my phone.
If it doesn't i will either install ArgenROM or overclock to 2GHz

D2 custom roms mostly work, however the issue with those is that they do not initialise with the UMTS radio, instead they use CDMA. By "mostly", I mean "everything except for the phone part". All the difficult bits (wifi, GPS, camera etc etc) work perfectly. I've flashed the APEX rom to my phone without issue.
It's possible, when we can work it out, that we can force them to boot with the UMTS radio. When we've worked this out, we should be home free, thus giving us a few more roms to use =)

There is a file you can flash on the d2g to initialise the UMTS radio once a D2 rom is installed - I wonder if that would work?

What file?
Would you upload it? In a update.zip way?

If you can find it for me, I'm more than willing to try!

The "file" is called D2G romer tool. Yes, it is an update.zip which you install from clockwork recovery. It will NOT work on Milestone 2. However, the approach taken creating the romer tool can be used with Milestone 2 to create similar file based on Milestone 2.
Romer is far from perfect though. If you want to know more, google for Get~R~Done team, or go to droidforums.net and navigate to Droid2 Global section.

Thanks for that! Based on this info, I have an idea as to how I can make this work. Hell, I have another slightly dodgier thing to try that may also work :3
Will try tonight

Lets hope we can get some ROMs a Flashin' on the MS2 then

I've downloaded that file. So by, let's say, replacing all files from that update.zip with files from the Milestone 2 Stock ROM, we would be able to create a "MS2 Romer"..?
There are quite some files to replace, but I think I might try it out this weekend!

Hah! Messing around, I've managed to get a version of APEX to boot. However, in my messing I removed all the bits that make it APEX, but the rom does boot with the apex logo and the different key map, and the phone part works too..
Pretty sure I know what to modify to get this work... gonna mess some more :3

Well this is a start- just shows we are getting there
Also, The milestone's BL is blocked but devs just load the system files such as SenseUI or other ROMs without replacing kernels. With some tweaks would it be possible to port Sense 2.2/2.3 to the MS2? (I like blur but sense is good too and i tend to chop and change roms on my current phone)

Yay! Congratulation!
I see MM2 community raise. Now I don't have any arguments, I will buy MM2

Theoretically it's possible to bring across SENSE. Not sure how deeply it integrates, I don't know a lot about sense. Theoretically you could replace the bits of BLUR with Sense, dunno for sure yet. The fact that sense exists on non-sense devices makes me believe it's possible :3

But like someone said before, the camera probably wouldn't be working because of the integration of its libraries into the kernel

If the camera itself is a part of sense, then sure. But otherwise, D2 roms have working camera on them on MS2.

They just use the moto client for the camera so it works so we could keep the moto camera?

Hey, try Apex Rom and youre gonna see it mostly works(except from, obviously, the signal)

[KERNEL - BL1.1] Popcap games compatible Froyo kernel

After Plants v Zombies released on the Amazon app store I was happy (that it released and was free) then sad (BC it didn't work on any rom I was running) then happy-ish (b/c I found that it ran on VEGan v1.0 b5.1). This rollercoaster of happiness drove me to make the game work on a froyo rom I like enough to run froyo.
Anyway, if you like PvZ AND can/do/want to run a BL1.1 Froyo ROM, this kernel could be for you. I can't tell you much about it because i didn't compile it, I just extracted it from VEGAn b5.1 and packaged it up with wifi driver's into koush's AnyKernel update.zip format. I have installed over a handful of froyo Roms with great success (I have run it the longest on a derivative of Calkulin's rom). I have not had any noteworthy issues. I have not tried it on anything other than Froyo.
Warnings: Use at your own risk, backup first, know how to nvflash, etc.
What this does: Replaces your gTab kernel with one that (among other things) runs Plants v. Zombies without the dreaded freeze every two minutes.
To install: Flash zip file with CWM, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot.
Tips: Set wifi to never sleep.
NB: I think this goes without saying, but if you are on a vanilla VEGAn b5.1 then there is no need for this.
UPDATE: This kernel can experience the "Sleep of Death" issue where the tablet won't wake properly form sleep. A couple things to avoid that are:
1. After installing the kernel format cache, dalvik, and run fix permissions (all within CWM).
2. Make sure you are running a ROM that was not installed over another, ie. you have done a data wipe at some point after installing the custom ROM you are currently on. Restoring user apps and data with TB is fine, but a full data partition restore with CWM from another ROM can cause big issues.
3. Press the power button a little longer (maybe a 250-500 ms) rather than just a tap, and then wait a few seconds before pressing again.
4. Use power control widget or something similar and just toggle off wifi when you aren't using the tab for a long time (it saves battery too).

UPDATE 7/4:
Peggle, another Popcap title has the same issues. It works flawlessly on this kernel. Pershoot is looking into the issues (thanks pershoot!) soon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15282076&postcount=1597).

Good work, Ramerco,
Always enjoyed reading your posts, as well as from a few great non-dev posters as TEK112, goodintentions, tjevans, etc . . .
BTW, PvZ is running fine on Beasty. It is a fun and hard to beat.
Dave,

really? no freezing? even on more complex levels? what is the kernel (you can see it from the about device/about tablet settiings page)

VEGAn 5.1 Froyo has a pershoot 1.1bl kernel that was compiled back in December. Is this really the only kernel that works, not even newer pershoot 1.1bl kernels? I wonder what was changed in the newer versions?
I've never used that game - I heard it's just as addicting as Angry Birds so I've avoided it like the plague.

yeah, not even pershoots first released standalone kernel from January works. I have no idea what's different. maybe it is from before the nvidia 10.9.9 stuff he mentions in his kernel thread.

FYI PvZ is fine on 3588, and so is Samaraui (another game people complanin about not running well on some ROMs). Stock isn't sexy or cool, but when I'm actually using a full-screen App I can't tell the difference between ROMs anyways.

Funny that it works well on 3588. When I was testing, I may have only tested 4349 stock. But now I can't really remember. I actually really like the TnT status bar and the wifi and battery widgets in it. I also really like the Home screen and the settings app even though the settings is missing a few key things (you can always temporarily swap to stock settings for those). My point is, I like the stock-ish rom, but I also like to have root and long press Home to switch apps.

To answer Roebeet's and potentially other's question,
This is the only bootloader 1.1 kernel for Froyo that works for Plants vs. Zombies. All others freeze shortly after game launch that I've tested.
I tested the last 2 released versions of BL 1.1 (& BL 1.2 as well) kernels from pershoot or clemsyn of Froyo, GB, & HC kernels with adjacent 1.1 or 1.2 Android ROMs just for the heck of it--> all PvZ fail blog entries for me.
Someone in another forum mentioned BoS HC 3.3 PvZ working, but it didn't work for me. I sure wish it did.
Here's what Froyo ROM's work with the PvZ Kernel:
VEGAn-tab 5.1.1 bl1.1--> PvZ success & Roebeet Netflix fix works too
Calkulin-Clemsyn v.5 bl1.1 -->PvZ success- fastest gameplay & not working Roebeet Netflix fix
TnT lite 4.4.0 Froyo bl1.1--> PvZ success & not working Roebeet Netflix fix

Peggle has the same issue with other kernels. OP Updated to reflect. Popcap must have some crazy code stuff going on.

I just nflashed back to BL1.1 and installed VEGAn-Tab 5.1 and then the 5.1.1 supplement. All the animations just show up as black blocks, is there something I'm doing wrong. I tried it both before and after installing flash 10.3, don't know if that matters.

Had that happen once or twice. Just kill the process and try again. The game uses tons of memory, suoometimes works better when you kill background apps. I know android is supposed to be great with mem mansagment, but it seems like some things run better wghen you kill background memory hogging apps.

Ice Cream Sandwich touch sensitivity off?

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, I really don't know what to call this or the best keyword to describe it; I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi only and have tried out a few builds of ICS (one from CM9 and the other AOSK or whatever it is). I have even tried the latest build (33) and still have this problem. I had a Comic Reader app where if I swipe up or down, it would change the comics (left and right would change the comic by date). There seemed to be a problem where I'd swipe up and it would think I was swiping horizontally instead. It was driving me crazy.
The best way I can describe a test would be:
Download Temple Run (game that you must swipe up, down, left and right). Try beating the first level. It was impossible for me to beat because I would try to swipe up and it would go down or left instead, etc. Just really off... anyone else have this issue?
This is the only thing that is hindering my tablet from having ICS; I could care less for the camera, my phone's camera is 100x's better anyways....
thanks!

i have that problem to i am using pershot builds

Same issues here with Temple Run (pershoots latest build)

I have similar problems in F18 Carrier Landing game. In the menu, my touches and gestures seem to be interpreted randomly and so are they in-game...
No solution known to me though...

I also noticed this.
It's a ICS issue or the ROMs aren't 100% compatible touchscreen drivers.

Expect issues with the ICS you're using.. why? its because all of them are in beta.

Oh I know that there will be issues; I was just posting to see if others were having the same problem and/or if there were any possible solutions available. Hopefully the developers are aware of the problem and will fix it in upcoming releases, if at all possible. At least I know mine isn't the only one doing it. I could care less about the camera working, but this off-swiping makes me go back to HC for the time-being.

Try the latest build from pershoot http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ (after flashing, you have to replace the boot.img). Temple Run works fine now.

Thanks! I will definitely try it. But one thing, what do you mean by "replace the boot.img"?
Edit: Hmmm I must be missing something, I keep getting the "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") bla bla bla. Restoring previous ROM, too tired to think for now... I'll check back here later... thanks!

Replacing the boot.img is no longer necessary, now you have to flash the ICS of your preference (just use a recent build, the one in http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ is ok.) and the new kernel in pershoot's blog: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ (direct link for the ics kernel for the p4wifi (26/04/12) http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/ker....4_p4wifi_ics-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-042612.zip ). This may not be always necessary if the build you're flashing already has the latest kernel.
About the assert failed, you need to flash a new recovery (cwm) via Odin, use this one: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/

SWEET!!! Thanks so much!!
I was able to follow your instructions to the letter (sort of) and I can play Temple Run without a hitch! It was driving me crazy trying to browse through the comics in Comic Reader.
I said "sort of" because I installed the recovery image, and flashed the ICS rom, but forgot to flash pershoots kernel. When I tested the Temple Run, it was doing the same weird touch issues. I was about to give up when I realized I didn't install the kernel. Installed the kernel, and sparks flew! Well, Temple Run was completely playable! So it appears that installing pershoot's latest kernel is what made the difference. So for those who are having similar issues, follow Maple Syrup's directions.
Thanks again Maple!!

I had the same problem with Shadowgun. The latest pershot kernel sorted it!
